Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA2844/2001

Master's order renewing the writ and deeming service on 16 November 2006 is upheld: the writ could not be renewed under O.6 r.8 but exceptional facts justified relief under O.2 r.1 and O.3 r.5; the Defendant received notice via his solicitors, suffered no prejudice, and Plaintiff's efforts to serve from its records were reasonable, therefore renewal and deemed service were proper and appeal dismissed.

Citation

SANYO SECURITIES (ASIA) LTD v. LIN KUANG LUNG RAYMOND
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCB1335/1995

The court held the order for substituted service was properly made because prompt personal service could not be effected and the debtor could not be located; formal defects in the notice did not invalidate proceedings under s.124; accordingly the applications to stay execution, to set aside substituted service and to set aside the Bankruptcy Notice were dismissed with costs to the creditor.
